[0038] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the embodiments of this application. To simplify the disclosure of the embodiments of this application, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. In addition, the embodiments of this application may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0039] For ease of description, spatially relative relationship terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position relationship or movement of one element or feature shown in the figure relative to another element or feature. These relative relationship terms such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "beneath", "above", "upper", "front", "rear", etc. This spatially relative relationship term is intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include the orientations of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatially relative relationship descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0040] To solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a shelf device and a refrigerator. When storing items with a relatively high height, the shelf device does not need to disassemble the shelf, which is convenient for users to use and improves the user experience effect.

[0041] Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of a shelf device provided by an embodiment of the present application in the compartment is shown; Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of a shelf device provided by an embodiment of the present application when the support frame is in the first state is shown; Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of a shelf device provided by an embodiment of the present application when the support frame is between the first state and the second state is shown; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of a shelf device provided by an embodiment of the present application when the support frame is in the second state is shown; Figure 5 The structural schematic diagram of a limit switch provided by an embodiment of the present application in the figure is shown.

[0042] As Figures 1 - 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a shelf device, which is arranged in Compartment 1 of the refrigerator. A first sliding groove 11 is arranged in Compartment 1 along the first direction X; the shelf device includes: a first slider 2, a support frame 3, and a first connecting rod 4.

[0043] The first slider 2 is slidably arranged in the first sliding groove 11.

[0044] One end of the support frame 3 is rotatably connected to the first slider 2. The support frame 3 includes a first state and a second state. When the support frame 3 is in the first state, the support frame 3 is placed horizontally. When the support frame 3 is in the second state, the support frame 3 abuts against the inner side wall of the compartment 1. Specifically, the support frame 3 is rotatably connected to the first slider 2 through a rotating shaft. The support frame 3 can rotate around the rotating shaft, and at the same time, the first slider 2 can slide up and down along the first sliding groove 11, so that the support frame 3 can lift in the vertical direction while rotating around the rotating shaft.

[0045] The first end 41 of the first connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the compartment 1, and the second end 42 is rotatably connected to the support frame 3, and is used to position the support frame 3 in the first state.

[0046] In the present application, by rotating the support frame 3 around the first slider 2, the support frame 3 can be switched between the first state and the second state. When the support frame 3 is in the first state, the first connecting rod 4 positions the support frame 3, so that the support frame 3 can stably carry items. When the support frame 3 is in the second state, the support frame 3 is flipped to abut against the inner side wall of the compartment 1, which can create enough space in the compartment 1 to store items with a relatively high height. When storing items with a relatively high height, the shelf does not need to be disassembled, which is convenient for users to use and improves the user experience effect.

[0047] In the related art, in the compartment 1 of a traditional refrigerator, a shelf is often provided to divide the vertical space of the compartment 1. The shelf is generally slidably arranged through a horizontally arranged slideway. When some items with a relatively high height need to be stored, the shelf needs to be disassembled, and then the disassembled shelf is stored for later use. This is not convenient for users and affects the user experience.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the support frame 3 is rotatably connected to the first slider 2, and the first slider 2 can also slide along the first chute 11, so as to realize that the support frame 3 can be switched between a first state and a second state. When the support frame 3 is in the first state, it is placed horizontally, and the support frame 3 at this time is positioned by the first connecting rod 4 to ensure the stability of the support frame 3, and items can be placed on the support frame 3; when the support frame 3 is flipped to the second state, the support frame 3 abuts against the rear inner wall of the compartment 1, so that enough space can be vacated in the compartment 1 to place higher items. The operation is simple, and there is no need to disassemble and specially store the support frame 3. The user experience is improved.

[0049] Specifically, the extending direction of the first chute 11 is vertical or close to vertical. When the support frame 3 is in the first state, the first slider 2 slides to the top of the first chute 11. When the support frame 3 is in the second state, the first slider 2 slides to the bottom of the first chute 11, which can reduce the height of the support plate as much as possible, and then effectively increase the storage length to ensure the storage and placement of the support frame 3.

[0050] In some embodiments, the height of the first end 41 of the first connecting rod 4 is higher than that of the second end 42.

[0051] In the present application, since the height of the first end 41 of the first connecting rod 4 is higher than that of the second end 42, when the support frame 3 is in the first state, the first connecting rod 4 can apply an upward pulling force to the support frame 3, so as to position the support frame 3 in the first state. As Figure 3 shown, when the support frame 3 is switched from the first state to the second state, the support frame 3 rotates clockwise around the rotating shaft, and the first connecting rod 4 rotates counterclockwise around the connection with the compartment 1 until the support frame 3 is flipped to the second state, and the second connecting rod 6 also rotates to the vertical state.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the support frame 3 is in the first state, the first slider 2 abuts against one end of the first chute 11; when the support frame 3 is in the second state, the first slider 2 abuts against the other end of the first chute 11.

[0053] In this application, the first slider 2 slides along the first chute 11. The first chute 11 can not only limit the first slider 2 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, so that the first slider 2 can only slide along the first direction X, but also position the first slider 2 in the first direction X. When the first slider 2 slides to the top of the first chute 11, the first chute 11 limits the first slider 2, and at this time, the support frame 3 is just in the first state. When the first slider 2 slides to the bottom of the first chute 11, the support frame 3 switches to the second state. At this time, the support frame 3 is in a vertical state or close to a vertical state, reducing the occupied space. The first slider 2 slides to the bottom of the first chute 11 to ensure the support effect on the support frame 3.

[0054] During actual use, when the support frame 3 is in the second state, it lacks positioning and is prone to tipping forward and hitting the items placed in the compartment 1, causing damage to the items. To avoid the above problems, the following embodiments are provided in this application:

[0055] Specifically, a second chute 12 is provided in the compartment 1 along the first direction X; the shelf device further includes: a second slider 5 and a second connecting rod 6.

[0056] The second slider 5 is slidably disposed in the second chute 12.

[0057] One end of the second connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the second slider 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the support frame 3 for positioning the support frame 3 in the second state.

[0058] In this application, by providing the second chute 12 in the compartment 1, the second slider 5 can slide along the second chute 12. The two ends of the second connecting rod 6 are respectively connected to the support frame 3 and the second slider 5. The second connecting rod 6 can be used to position the support frame 3 in the second state, ensuring the stability of the support frame 3 in the second state.

[0059] Specifically, the support frame 3 can be switched between the first state and the second state. When in the first state, the support frame 3 is positioned by the first connecting rod 4, so that the support frame 3 can effectively carry items. When in the second state, the support frame 3 is positioned by the second connecting rod 6, so that the support frame 3 can stably maintain the second state, avoiding the situation of the support frame 3 tipping forward.

[0060] Further, a connecting portion 31 connected to the second connecting rod 6 is provided on the support frame 3, and the distance between the connecting portion 31 and the second chute 12 is less than the length of the second connecting rod 6.

[0061] As Figure 4As shown, in this application, when the support frame 3 is flipped to the second state, it is in the vertical direction. Since the length of the second link 6 is greater than the distance between the connecting portion 31 and the second chute 12, at this time, the second link 6 is in an inclined state, and a support angle is formed between the second link 6 and the support frame 3. The support angle is an acute angle, so that the support frame 3 can be prevented from flipping forward and falling. When it is necessary to switch the support frame 3 from the second state to the first state, it is necessary to first slide the support frame 3 upward by a certain distance so that the second slider 5 is separated from the bottom of the second chute 12. At this time, the limit of the second link 6 on the support frame 3 can be released. When the support frame 3 is flipped forward again, that is, the support frame 3 is rotated counterclockwise in the drawing, the end of the second link 6 connected to the second slider 5 can slide downward, so that the support frame 3 completes the flipping. Therefore, when the support frame 3 is switched from the second state to the first state, it is necessary to apply an external force to make the support frame 3 slide upward by a certain distance. Otherwise, the support frame 3 is obliquely supported by the second link 6 and cannot rotate smoothly. Therefore, the situation where the support frame 3 flips and falls in the refrigerator can be prevented.

[0062] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, when the support frame 3 is in the second state, the second slider 5 abuts against one end of the second chute 12.

[0063] In this application, when the support frame 3 is in the second state, the second slider 5 abuts against the bottom of the second chute 12. At this time, the second slider 5 is in a fixed state, that is, the end of the second link 6 away from the support frame 3 is in a fixed state. Therefore, the positioning effect of the support frame 3 can be guaranteed.

[0064] Specifically, the connecting portion 31 is located between the second end 42 of the first link 4 and the first slider 2. The connecting portion 31 is arranged at the bottom of the support frame 3, which can reduce the occupation of the bearing area above the support frame 3.

[0065] In some embodiments, two second chutes 12 are arranged oppositely. Second sliders 5 are respectively arranged in the two second chutes 12. One ends of the two second links 6 are respectively connected to the two second sliders 5, and the other ends of the two second links 6 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the support frame 3; and / or two first chutes 11 are arranged oppositely. First sliders 2 are respectively arranged in the two first chutes 11. The two first sliders 2 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the support frame 3.

[0066] In this application, by arranging two second chutes 12 and two second sliders 5, the two sides of the support frame 3 can be positioned respectively, so as to further ensure the positioning effect of the support frame 3 in the second state.

[0067] By providing two first sliding grooves 11 and two first sliders 2, when the support frame 3 switches between the first state and the second state, the force on the support frame 3 is ensured to be uniform, ensuring that the flipping action can be smoothly completed and preventing the support frame 3 from jamming due to uneven force during flipping.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shelf device further includes a limit switch 7 disposed in the compartment 1, and the limit switch 7 is configured to: limit the support frame 3 in the first state, or release the limit on the support frame 3 in the first state.

[0069] In this application, the limit switch 7 can limit the support frame 3 in the first state. Thus, when the support frame 3 bears a heavy object, even if the heavy object is placed in the rear area of the support frame 3, the support frame 3 will not flip, further ensuring the stability of the support frame 3 when carrying items. When it is necessary to flip the support frame 3 to the second state, the limit on the support frame 3 is released through the limit switch 7, and then the support frame 3 can be flipped.

[0070] As Figure 5 shown, specifically, the limit switch 7 includes a limit block and an elastic member. The limit switch 7 is disposed in a horizontally arranged slot and can expand and contract along the direction of the slot. The elastic member is disposed in the slot, and one end of the elastic member abuts against the limit block, so as to keep part of the limit block outside the slot. The top of the part of the limit block located outside the slot is beveled. When the support frame 3 is flipped, the support frame 3 can automatically cross the bevel by pressing the bevel, and then the support frame 3 is limited by the limit block. When it is necessary to release the limit on the support frame 3, the elastic member is compressed by pressing the limit block. After the limit block is pressed into the slot, the limit on the support frame 3 is released.

[0071] In some embodiments, a driving portion 32 is provided at one end of the support frame 3 away from the first slider 2.

[0072] In this application, by providing the driving portion 32 at one end of the support frame 3 away from the first slider 2, it is convenient to drive the support frame 3 to flip and switch between the first state and the second state.

[0073] Specifically, the driving part 32 is a hand - holding part and is arranged at the lower part of the support frame 3. When it is necessary to switch the support frame 3 from the first state to the second state, first release the limit on the support frame 3, and then lift the hand - holding part upward, so that the support frame 3 rotates around the rotating shaft. At the same time, the first slider 2 slides downward along the first sliding groove 11 until the first slider 2 slides to the bottom of the first sliding groove 11, and the support frame 3 flips to the vertical state. At this time, the second slider 5 also slides to the bottom of the second sliding groove 12, and the support frame 3 is obliquely supported by the second connecting rod 6. When it is necessary to switch the support frame 3 from the second state to the first state, pull the hand - holding part of the support frame 3 to move upward, so that the support frame 3, the first slider 2 and the second slider 5 all move upward by a certain distance. At this time, release the limit of the second connecting rod 6 on the support frame 3. Because when the support frame 3 is flipped, the end of the second connecting rod 6 can slide downward through the second slider 5, and the support frame 3 is flipped counter - clockwise. At the same time, the first slider 2 slides upward until the first slider 2 slides to the top of the first sliding groove 11, and the support frame 3 becomes horizontal.

[0074] The shelf device can realize the switching between the first state and the second state of the support frame 3 by the rotation of the support frame 3 around the first slider 2. When the support frame 3 is in the first state, the first connecting rod 4 positions the support frame 3, so that the support frame 3 can stably carry items. When the support frame 3 is in the second state, the support frame 3 flips to lean against the inner side wall of the compartment 1, which can create enough space in the compartment 1 to store taller items. When storing taller items, there is no need to disassemble the shelf, which is convenient for users and improves the user experience.

[0076] As Figures 6 - 9 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator, including: a compartment 1; and the above - mentioned shelf device.

[0077] Specifically, in the compartment 1 of the refrigerator, at least one of the above - mentioned shelf devices is provided. The shelf device is located in the upper region of the compartment 1, and a fixed shelf is adopted below the shelf device. Optionally, multiple shelf devices can also be adopted in the compartment 1 of the refrigerator. The multiple shelf devices are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in the compartment 1, so that each support frame 3 can be switched between the first state and the second state, thus completing the switching between the use state and the storage state.
